The people of Kalimani, Kenya need clean water.
They know that when water comes, everything will change.
So does Charles Hurst.
And Oct. 3rd, he will run 100 miles in less than 30 hours to help give it to them...
He'll need your help to finish.
100 Miles - 30 Hours - 4,000 Lives Changed
Charles has been preparing for this challenge for over a year. He'll be the one running the 100 miles, but he doesn't have to be in this race alone. He's asking for folks like you to get involved too, by giving something to help build this well in Kenya.
How? Well...instead of reaching out to hand Charles a
cup of water during the race, you can hand a drink to a child or mother, half way around the world.
Your gift will matter. Just $10 will bring clean water to one person for 10 years!
In fact, with your help, The Road to Change Well Project will provide clean, safe drinking water to an entire community of 4,000 people.
Will you help Charles sprint to the finish line?
What's The Goal?
This large well project will serve 4,000 people! Charles has set a personal goal of raising $5,000 to make it happen - enough to fund a big piece of the effort. He's almost there.
To finish the project, we'd like you to get in this race with Charles! Donate Here »
You'll join Charles, The Collegiate @ University of Winnipeg, and our friends at charity: water who have graciously pledged support to help ensure the project is completed.
First, please make a small donation. Give one cup. Whatever one cup is for you.
Second, and this is most important, find two of your friends and get them involved too. Email, call, run over to their house. We need your voice.

Charles is bringing us along for the run. From now until the race, he'll walk us through how he's preparing and how the project is shaping up. I'm sure the road won't always be smooth, but the prize will be grand.
